The story

In 1997, Rachel Singer is honoured by her daughter Sarah during a release party in Tel Aviv for Sarah's book, based on the account Rachel, Stefan, and David gave of the events in 1965. Concurrently, David is escorted from his apartment by an Israeli government agent for a debriefing. David recognises Stefan waiting in another vehicle and, unable to face their lie, he commits suicide by stepping in front of an oncoming truck.
